My pads will need to be replaced soon and I'm just curious what works well on a little civic.

 

i run EBC greenstuff on all 4s with a gsr full f/r comversion with m/c/,prop. valve, bb.... still cant make em fade..

 

i have the hawk hps and theyre pretty good perfomers with virtually little to no dusting. im going for the hp+ next time. also get new rotors when you get pads too.

 

Axxis Metalmasters on my civic ej6. They don't dust much and you stop on a dime.

 

I used to run ATE pads on my old car and they were great .Can't wait until I get them on my new car

 

I've had MetalMasters before, and they were REALLY nice for the street. I have a set of Ultimates coming now though, and we'll see how these fare.

what? why?

Ive actually heard it could be a bad thing to break in new rotors with new pads...what have you heard that you say replace both?

 

I have heard replace both. I think it is better b/c a used rotor with new pads could possibly cause the pads to wear unevenly. This is what I have heard, not sure if it is correct.

 

you don't need new pads in every case. you should check your clearances and make sure that they are straight. if they are fine, then just get them surfaced.

 

Most the time you can have your rotors resurfaced, thats what i did and threw on some AEM pads works better than stock...oh ya i also decided to run steel braided lines

 

Hawk hp+

I had another brand before. They seemed to work just as well. But I forgot what they were.

 

Yeah, they're awesome but they give of SOOO much brake dust.

 

Axxis ultimates and brembo cross drilled. Stops my 2k lb cx on a dime.

 

Hawk HP+

Squeaky as hell but they are a must for the track.

 

Are you guys saying that you change rotors everytime that you change pads? I always thought rotors outlasted the pads by a long period of time (unless they happen to be damaged or unusually abused)??

 

Autozone rotors and pads , can't beat the price

 

For my 92 dx. I just put on Brembo (Oem replacement ) Rotors which are not slotted or cross drilled. (35 each) + Nissin "sport" pads (upgrade over stock)
Nissin makes A.E.M 's pads and SPOON's! too.
I plan to do Earls S. steel lines w/ Ate superblue fluid.
This is just a tie me over for when I get my motor,
Integra Ls or gsr brake conversion is a great Idea. w/ Aimmco rotors (auto zone) or brembo blanks,
Hawk pads are good, Nissin, I know of a lota folks running Carbotech (panther plus) on their trackday cars. ebc are "o.k" from what i hear. endless are good.

 

thats just my personal opinion on changing the rotors. i just think its more convenient to change rotors instead of resurfacing the rotor. (you have to take it off, bring it to mahcine shop, wait and reinstall) plus autozone rotors are like $50 a pair

 

i have a set of integra powerslot rotors and project mu brakepads. they are ok and during low speeds and a light pedal, they squeak a lot. i'm not sure if this is normal or if i didn't break them in properly.

 

OEM work good for me...though I have Nissin pads right now. I will probably stick to OEM from now on, I can't tell any difference.

 

axxis ultimate
i love them.
